An exploratory qualitative research.
To understand how Iranian individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) perceive post-SCI divorce.
Protection Center of Spinal Cord Disables.
Post-SCI divorcees who were 18 years and older.
The participants were 20 individuals with SCI (9 men and 11 women) who were willing to share their experiences through interviews. They had been referred to the 'Protection Center of Spinal Cord Disables'. The data were collected through ten semi-structured individual in-depth interviews and two focus group discussions. Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis approach was applied to extract the meanings informants used to conceptualize the concept of marriage.
Post-SCI divorce was conceptualized in terms of 'contextual scenarios'. We explored the scenarios related to post-SCI divorce in terms of predisposing scenarios and identified them as ground-breaking stories for constructing a decision process for post-SCI divorce. We also determined efforts that had been made to maintain marital stability.
Based on our participants' perceptions, post-SCI divorce was affected by their understanding of scenarios resulting in post-SCI divorce and their struggles to stay married.
探索性定性研究。
了解伊朗脊髓损伤（SCI）患者如何看待 SCI 后的离婚。
脊髓损伤残疾人保护中心。
18 岁及以上的 SCI 离婚者。
参与者为 20 名脊髓损伤者（9 名男性和 11 名女性），他们愿意通过访谈分享自己的经历。他们被转介到“脊髓损伤残疾人保护中心”。通过十次半结构化的个人深度访谈和两次焦点小组讨论收集数据。应用 Braun 和 Clarke 的主题分析方法提取受访者用于概念化婚姻概念的含义。
SCI 后的离婚被概念化为“情境场景”。我们探讨了与 SCI 后离婚相关的情境场景，将其确定为构建 SCI 后离婚决策过程的突破性故事。我们还确定了为维持婚姻稳定所做的努力。
根据我们参与者的看法，SCI 后的离婚受到他们对导致 SCI 后离婚的情境场景的理解以及他们为维持婚姻而挣扎的影响。
